Immerse yourself in the magical atmosphere of the mysterious Sourroque forest. A fun trail with riddles for the whole family to solve.
The Sourroque massif, above Saint-Girons, is home to a karst trail with interpretation panels, particularly near the chasms it runs alongside and describes; dotted with riddles to be solved, it is fun and highly attractive. It is said that the Hadas, the little fairies from the legends of the Gascon Pyrenees, hide in this verdant forest.
